            Bug ID: 382741
           Summary: Removal of "Minimise Memory Usage" option makes
                    Konqueror more fragile, please reconsider
           Product: konqueror
           Version: Git
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konq-bugs@kde.org
          Reporter: jjm@keelhaul.me.uk
  Target Milestone: ---

In KDE4 and in KF5 until recently, Konqueror had the "Performance - Minimise
Memory Usage" option.  Unless this was set to "Always" (with the caution "U=
se
with care"), Konqueror would open new windows in a separate process if it
considered it to be appropriate.

Now, with the removal of this option, all Konqueror windows appear to share=
 the
same process (i.e. it was as if the former option was set to "Always").  Th=
is
would not be a problem if everything always worked perfectly, but the troub=
le
is that a single crash (or a hung or runaway process needing to be killed)
anywhere - which may not be the fault of Konqueror, but possibly in one of =
the
HTML parts or any other viewer part - will destroy all of the user's Konque=
ror
windows regardless of what they are showing.  And sometimes I have tens of =
them
open...

Please consider reinstating this option, possibly with the default being
"Always" if it is felt that this is the most appropriate setting now.
